The Strange Jewel Heist: Diamonds Regurgitated after a Florida Swallow
Swallowing of Earrings Confirmed Via X-Ray: Suspect Accused - Digitally captured images show a suspect appearing to ingest earrings.
Hey there! Let's dive into an odd tale of stolen jewels that's quite the conversation starter. This bizarre incident unfurled in the Sunshine State — yep, you guessed it, Florida. After a two-week hospital stint due to, well, a stomach ache, the local authorities in Orlando were left with a peculiar suspect and some surprising X-ray findings. The man in question, a 32-year-old, was believed to have made off with hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of Tiffany & Co. diamond earrings, only to have them... naturally eliminated from his system.
The Heist Goes South
The fellow in question posed as an assistant to an NBA star, luring his way into an Orlando jewelry store to peruse high-priced baubles in late February. Among them were four eye-popping pairs of earrings, valued around $769,500. In a rush of kleptomania, the man allegedly grabbed the precious ear bling and scampered, according to the police report.
Cue the authorities tracking him down and making an arrest. Unbeknownst to them, the thief had a taste for the dramatic and decided to swallow the loot. X-rays later confirmed the stealthy plan, revealing the expensive ear candy hiding in his digestive system. The suspect was charged with robbery and grand theft, according to US media, and even has a similar Florida-to-Texas swiping saga in his past.
